Career Path for a Lotus Notes Admin in Linux

Well, I am an engineering graduate and have 7+ yrs of experience on Messaging Administration that include Lotus Domino, Lotus sametime, Travelers, Blackberry and so on. Currently I am working for Chennai based MNC. I have also completed OCP certification in Oracle Application developer (SQL/Plsql) and Oracle DBA couple of years ago when I was with my previous organisation However I have not got any opportunity to gain hands-on experience.

I have recently got my H1B (US) visa stamped for couple of weeks ago however I do not foresee any better onsite opportunity for this skill with my employer. I belongs to Content Management and Portal team that include Search, Filenet, Sharepoint, Migration etc...

Now I am kind of very confused state whether should I change to different technologies to fetch a job in US or should I stay back with Lotus Domino or Should I try move into Oracle DBA/Devolopement or Should I try moving into Linux/Solaris administration though I do not have any hands-on experience.

Will it good for me to move into Sharepoint or Moss migration (because I can try my best to move into any technology that comes under Content Management and Portal) ??? Could you please share your ideas and I would be really grateful to everyone who responds to me.

Lotus Notes evolved from ccMail. I dinosaur I used to work with long ago. I would not bet my IT career on managing Lotus Notes. You will not find any positions for that in the Washington DC area (USA). You would however find may Linux Admin, MS Admin, Exchange, Sharepoint, Oracle, and other relevant positions all over the US, and likely all over the world.

Check out monster.com or careerbuilder.com to see what the hot technologies are in the area you want to work. I would also plan on learning a completely new skill every 3 to 4 years. You cannot get an IT job today working with 4 year old technology.
